Friedrich Karl Thauer (Germany 1924-2009) original oil painting on canvas Framed

This is a beautiful large oil painting on canvas depicting a picturesque European coastal town with a bustling waterfront scene. The artist employs a rich, textured impasto technique, using bold, expressive brushstrokes to depict the historic buildings lining the harbor. On the left, a market stall with a red-and-white striped awning adds a lively contrast to the aged stone facades. The scene leads the viewer’s eye towards the calm blue waters, where a traditional sailing boat with deep red sails drifts, reflecting beautifully in the shimmering sea.

Presented in a hand-decorated frame.

Signed in a lower-right by Friedrich Karl Thauer.
